I visit the Ship quite often. Over quite a few years I have had food from terrible to very good . The most recent 7 Nov at the quiz night ordered
Garlic prawns . Not bad
Garlic bread with cheese and bacon. Looked nice and could have tasted nice if it was hot grated cheese was cold , not melted apart from a little bit on top. Bread was cold . No love or quality control from the kitchen staff!!
Crispy chicken wings. Deep fried to the point of dry and the outside colour closer to dark brown than golden. Terrible. Should never had left the kitchen!
Pepperoni pizza. Had to get a microscope out on my Mobil to find the pepperoni and even then it was hard as it was spread far and wide in very very small pieces! Very average and disappointing
The good old fried chip. Only item that was ok
Basically I paid $99 for some very average food that should have never been served!
Do I like the Ship . Yes. will I still go there for a drink , yes . will I eat there or tell others to NO. Quality is to hit and miss
Another issue is that there never appears to be enough bar staff for good service when busy

Cannot recommend The Ships Restaurant highly enough.
Staff go above and beyond (especially the restaurant supervisor and bar supervisor) including the chef coming to our table to check everything was satisfactory.
Our meals were all beautifully presented and cooked to perfection.
Bar staff were super attentive and all drinks were served promptly.
Will definately keep returning to
this venue with family and friends.
Merry Christmas to all the ships staff!

We had lunch at the Ship for new Years Eve. We both had the Best Schnitzel Ever. Was really Happy. Also very friendly staff. The Lady that served us plus Michael who was clearing the tables.
Congratulations. Wishing you All a Wonderful New Year. 🎊

Fantastic service, friendly staff, great food: chef came to patrons and spoke to us, such a personal experience.
